The MANTAS T8 is a person portable System that can be deployed from ship, shore or boat. With a length of 8 feet (2.5 m) and a maximum payload capacity of 40 lbs (18 kgs), the T8 offers a reliable and efficient System in a compact form factor. Powered by an all-electric powertrain, it ensures clean and sustainable operations.
Based on the propulsion system and specific payload requirements, the T8 has burst speeds up to 25 kts, providing a swift and reliable system for short duration missions. The T8’s hardened line replacement unit modularity allows for simple field maintenance and operation.
Like other MANTAS variants, the System architecture is open and flexible allowing for the integration of camera, sonar and SIGINT kits for multiple mission opportunities. Whether it’s surveillance, reconnaissance, or other mission, the T8 is a practical and scalable solution for small scale operations.
Finally, The MANTAS T8 has the same control system as all other MANTAS and Devil Rays and is capable of nesting within the Devil Ray Systems.
